Egremont is a small market town and ward in Cumberland, sitting on the western edge of the Lake District. The ruined Norman Egremont Castle overlooks a compact Victorian high street and market area, with easy access to the nearby fells and coastal plain.
Historically a medieval market centre that later supported mining and quarrying, the town is now known for its long‑running Crab Fair and a strong community life; tourism and local services are important, and many residents commute to nearby employers such as Sellafield. It feels like a handy local hub and a peaceful gateway for walkers and visitors exploring west Cumbria.
